What is it about?

We describe how supervisors of mental health professionals working in the juvenile justice system can protect supervisees from burnout by strengthening a supervisee’s sense of belonging, significance, self-efficacy, and courage. This Adlerian-informed model of supervision can be used by mental health supervisors in any setting.

Why is it important?

Mental health professionals in the juvenile justice system are at high risk of burnout, which in turn negatively affects client outcome.

Perspectives

My choices—though coming from a caring heart—were not producing courage or self-efficacy. So I corrected myself and began once again supervising according to the principles outlined in this article. I'm so glad I did, because I was then able to watch someone grow into a wonderful counselor.
